UNkulunkulu indodana

103 unkulunkulu indodana

UNkulunkulu iNdodana unguMuntu wesibili wobuNkulunkulu, ozelwe nguYise kusukela phakade. Uyizwi nomfanekiso kaYise ngaye futhi uNkulunkulu wadala zonke izinto ngenxa yakhe. Wathunyelwa uBaba njengoJesu Kristu, uNkulunkulu, embulwe enyameni ukuze sikwazi ukuzuza insindiso. Wakhulelwa ngoMoya oNgcwele futhi wazalwa yiNcasakazi uMariya, wayenguNkulunkulu ngokugcwele futhi engumuntu ngokugcwele, wahlanganisa izimvelo ezimbili kumuntu oyedwa. Yena, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu neNkosi phezu kwakho konke, ufanele ukudunyiswa nokukhonzwa. Njengomhlengi wesintu owabikezelwa, wafela izono zethu, wavuswa ngokwenyama futhi wenyukela ezulwini, lapho esebenza khona njengomlamuleli phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu. Iyobuya futhi ngenkazimulo ukuze abuse phezu kwezizwe zonke njengeNkosi yamakhosi embusweni kaNkulunkulu. (Johannes 1,1.10.14; AbaseKolose 1,15-16; amaHebheru 1,3; UJohane 3,16; Thithu 2,13; Mathewu 1,20; IzEnzo ZabaPhostoli 10,36; 1. AbaseKorinte 15,3-4; amaHebheru 1,8; IsAmbulo 19,16)

Ubani le ndoda?

UJesu uqobo wabuza abafundi bakhe umbuzo wokuthi ngubani, okufanele sikhathaleke ngaye lapha: “Abantu bathi iNdodana yomuntu ingubani?” Kusabalulekile kithi nanamuhla: Ubani le ndoda? Ngabe unegunya lini? Kungani kufanele simethembe? UJesu Kristu uyisizinda sokholo lobuKristu. Kufanele siqonde ukuthi ungumuntu onjani.

Ngabantu ngokuphelele - nokuningi

UJesu wazalwa ngendlela evamile, wakhula ngokujwayelekile, walamba, woma, wakhathala, wadla, waphuza, walala. Wayebukeka evamile, ekhuluma ulimi oluvamile, ehamba evamile. Wayenemizwa: isihawu, intukuthelo, ukumangala, ukudabuka, ukwesaba (Mathewu 9,36; Luka 7,9; UJohane 11,38; Mathewu 26,37). Wathandaza kuNkulunkulu ngendlela abantu okufanele bathandaze ngayo. Wazibiza ngendoda kuthiwe uyindoda. Wayengumuntu.

Kodwa wayengumuntu ongavamile kangangokuthi ngemva kokunyuka kwakhe abanye baphika ukuthi wayengumuntu (2. Johane 7). Babecabanga ukuthi uJesu ungcwele kangangokuthi babengakholelwa ukuthi wayehlangene nenyama, ukungcola, umjuluko, ukugaya ukudla, ukungapheleli kwenyama. Mhlawumbe wayevele engumuntu, njengoba ngezinye izikhathi izingelosi zibonakala zingabantu ngaphandle kokuba zibe umuntu.

Ngokuphambene, iTestamente Elisha likwenza kucace: UJesu wayengumuntu ngomqondo ophelele waleli gama. UJohane uyaqinisekisa:
"Futhi uLizwi waba yinyama..." (Joh 1,14). Akazange “abonakale” njengenyama kuphela futhi “akazange embathe” inyama kuphela. Waba yinyama. UJesu Kristu “uza enyameni.” (1 Joh. 4,2). Siyazi, kusho uJohannes, ngoba sambona nangenxa yokuthi samthinta (1. UJohannes 1,1-enye).

NgokukaPawulu, uJesu “wenziwa waba-njengabantu” (Filipi 2,7), “okwenziwa ngaphansi komthetho” (Galathiya 4,4), “ngomfanekiso wenyama enesono” ( Roma 8,3). Lowo oweza ukuzohlenga umuntu kwakufanele abe umuntu, kusho umlobi wamaHeberu: “Ngenxa yokuthi abantwana bayinyama negazi, naye wakwamukela ngokufanayo... Ngakho-ke kwakufanele abe njengabafowabo kukho konke’ (ngesiHeberu 2,14-enye).

Insindiso yethu imile noma iwela ngokuthi uJesu wayekhona ngempela - futhi unjalo. Indima yakhe njengommeli wethu, umphristi wethu omkhulu, imile noma iwela ngokuthi ngabe uke wabhekana yini nezinto zobuntu (Hebheru 4,15). Ngisho nangemva kokuvuka kwakhe, uJesu waba nenyama namathambo (Johane 20,27:2; Luka 4,39). Nasenkazimulweni yasezulwini waqhubeka engumuntu (1. UThimothi 2,5).

Yenza njengoNkulunkulu

“Ubani yena?” kubuza abaFarisi njengoba bebona uJesu ethethelela izono. “Ngubani ongathethelela izono ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu yedwa?” (Luka 5,21Isono siyicala kuNkulunkulu; umuntu angakhulumela kanjani uNkulunkulu futhi athi izono zakho zisuliwe, zesuliwe? Lokho kungukuhlambalaza, bathi. UJesu wayeyazi indlela ababezizwa ngayo ngakho, futhi wayesazithethelela izono. Waze washo nokuthi yena ngokwakhe wayekhululekile esonweni (Joh 8,46). Wenza izimangalo ezimangalisayo:

  • UJesu wathi uyohlala ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu ezulwini - esinye isimangalo sokuthi abapristi bamaJuda bathola ukuhlambalaza6,6I-3-65).
  • Wayethi uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu - lokhu futhi kwakuwukuhlambalaza, kwashiwo, ngoba kuleso siko lokho kusho ukuziphakamisela kuNkulunkulu (Johane. 5,18; I-19,7).
  • UJesu wathi uvumelana ngokuphelele noNkulunkulu kangangokuthi wenza lokho uNkulunkulu ayekufuna kuphela (Joh. 5,19).
  • Wayethi umunye noBaba (Joh 10,30), abapristi abangamaJuda nabo ababeyibheka njengenhlamba ( Joh 10,33).
  • Wayethi unjengoNkulunkulu kangangokuthi noma ubani owayembona wayeyobona uBaba4,9; 1,18).
  • Wathi angawuthumela uMoya kaNkulunkulu6,7).
  • Wathi angathumela izingelosi3,41).
  • Wayazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengumahluleli womhlaba futhi ngasikhathi sinye wathi uNkulunkulu unesahlulelo ngaye
    wanikela (Johannes 5,22).
  • Wathi uyakwazi ukuvusa abafileyo, kuhlanganise naye (Joh 5,21; 6,40; 10,18).
  • Wathi ukuphila okuphakade kwawo wonke umuntu kuncike ebuhlotsheni bakhe naye, uJesu (Mathewu 7,22-enye).
  • Wathi amazwi kaMose ayenganele (Mathewu 5,21-enye).
  • Wazibiza ngeNkosi yeSabatha – umthetho awunikwe nguNkulunkulu! (Mathewu 12,8.)

Ukube ubengumuntu nje, lezi bekuyoba izimfundiso zokugabadela, ezinesono. Kodwa uJesu wasekela amazwi akhe ngemisebenzi emangalisayo. “Kholwani yimi ukuthi ngikuBaba, noBaba ukimi; uma kungenjalo, kholwani yimi ngenxa yemisebenzi” (Johane 14,11). Izimangaliso azikwazi ukuphoqa muntu ukuthi akholwe, kodwa zisengaba "ubufakazi obuqinile" obuqinile.

Ukuze abonise ukuthi unegunya lokuthethelela izono, uJesu welapha indoda eyayife uhlangothi (Luka 5:17-26). Izimangaliso zakhe zifakazela ukuthi lokho akusho ngaye kuyiqiniso. Unamandla angaphezu kwawomuntu ngoba ungaphezu komuntu. Ukugomela ngawe - nanoma yikuphi okunye ukuhlambalaza - kwakusekelwe eqinisweni noJesu. Wayekwazi ukukhuluma njengoNkulunkulu futhi enze njengoNkulunkulu ngoba wayenguNkulunkulu enyameni.

Isithombe sakhe

UJesu wayebazi ngokucacile ukuthi ungubani. Ngeshumi nambili wayesevele enobudlelwane obukhethekile noBaba oseZulwini (Luka 2,49). Lapho ebhapathizwa wezwa izwi livela ezulwini lithi: “Wena uyindodana yami ethandekayo (Luka 3,22). Wayazi ukuthi wayenomsebenzi wokuthunywa (Luka 4,43; 9,22; I-13,33; I-22,37).

UJesu waphendula amazwi kaPetru, wathi: “Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo!”: “Ubusisiwe wena, Simoni, ndodana kaJona; Ngokuba inyama negazi akukwambulelanga lokhu, kepha uBaba osezulwini” (Mathewu 16:16-17). UJesu wayeyindodana kaNkulunkulu. WayenguKristu, uMesiya—ogcotshwe uNkulunkulu ukuze enze umsebenzi okhethekile.

Ngenkathi ebiza abafundi abayishumi nambili, munye esizweni ngasinye sakwa-Israyeli, akazibalanga phakathi kwabayishumi nambili. Wayephezu kwabo ngoba wayephezu kwabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli. Wayengumsunguli nomakhi ka-Israyeli omusha. Esakramente waziveza ukuthi uyisisekelo sesivumelwano esisha, ubuhlobo obusha noNkulunkulu. Wayezibona njengogxila kulokho okwenziwa uNkulunkulu emhlabeni.

Ngesibindi uJesu wajikela amasiko, imithetho, ithempeli, neziphathimandla zezenkolo. Ucele abafundi bakhe ukuthi bashiye konke futhi bamlandele, bambeke kuqala ezimpilweni zabo, bathembeke ngokuphelele kuye. Wayekhuluma ngegunya likaNkulunkulu - futhi ngasikhathi sinye wayekhuluma negunya lakhe.

UJesu wayekholelwa ukuthi iziprofetho zeTestamente Elidala zazigcwaliseka kuye. Wayeyinceku ehluphekayo eyayizofa ukuze isindise abantu ezonweni zabo (Isaya 53,4-5 & 12; Mathewu 26,24; Maka 9,12; Luka 22,37; 24, 46). WayeyiNkosi yokuthula owayezongena eJerusalema egibele imbongolo (Zakariya 9,9- 10; Mathewu 21,1-9). WayeyiNdodana yoMuntu okwakuyonikezwa wonke amandla negunya (Daniyeli 7,13-14; Mathewu 26,64).

Impilo yakhe yangaphambilini

UJesu wathi waphila ngaphambi kuka-Abrahama futhi waveza lokhu “kuphelelwa yisikhathi” emshweni ovamile: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ngaphambi kokuba u-Abrahama abe khona, mina ngikhona” (Johane. 8,58th). Abapristi bamaJuda baphinde bakholwa ukuthi uJesu wayeqhwaga izinto zaphezulu futhi wayefuna ukumkhanda ngamatshe (v. 59). Emazwini athi "nginguye" imisindo 2. mose 3,14 lapho uNkulunkulu embula khona igama lakhe kuMose: "Uzakusho kanje kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: [Yena] 'Nginguye' ungithumile kini" ( Elberfeld translation). UJesu uzithathela leli gama lapha.

UJesu uyaqinisekisa ukuthi “ngaphambi kokuba izwe libe khona” Wahlanganyela inkazimulo noBaba (Johane 17,5). UJohane usitshela ukuthi wayevele ekhona ekuqaleni kwesikhathi: njengoLizwi (Joh 1,1). Futhi nakuJohane sifunda ukuthi “zonke izinto” zenziwa ngezwi (Joh 1,3). Ubaba wayengumhleli, igama elingumdali owafeza okwakuhleliwe. Konke kwadalwa nguye futhi kwadalelwa yena (Kolose 1,16; 1. AbaseKorinte 8,6). amaHebheru 1,2 uthi uNkulunkulu “wenza umhlaba” ngeNdodana.

KumaHeberu, njengakweyabaseKolose, kuthiwa iNdodana “ithwala” indawo yonke, “ikhona” kuyo. 1,3; AbaseKolose 1,17). Zombili zisitshela ukuthi “ungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali” (Kolose 1,15), “umfanekiso wemvelo yakhe” ( Hebheru 1,3).

Ubani uJesu UnguNkulunkulu owaba yinyama. Ungumdali wazo zonke izinto, umbusi wokuphila (Izenzo zabaPhostoli 3,15). Ubukeka njengoNkulunkulu, unenkazimulo njengoNkulunkulu, unamandla amakhulu atholwa nguNkulunkulu kuphela. Akumangalisi ukuthi abafundi baphetha ngokuthi ungowaphezulu, uNkulunkulu enyameni.

Kufanele ukukhulekelwa

Ukukhulelwa kukaJesu kwakungaphezu kwemvelo (Mathewu 1,20; Luka 1,35). Waphila engoni nakanye (Hebheru 4,15). Wayengenasici, engenasici (Hebheru 7,26; 9,14). Akenzanga isono (1 Pt 2,22); kwakungekho sono kuye (1. UJohannes 3,5); wayengazi lutho ngesono (2. AbaseKorinte 5,21). Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isilingo sasinamandla kangakanani, uJesu wayehlale enesifiso esinamandla sokulalela uNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi wakhe kwakuwukwenza intando kaNkulunkulu (Hebheru 10,7).

Abantu bakhulekela uJesu izikhathi eziningana4,33; I-28,9 Iminyaka engu-17; UJohane 9,38). Izingelosi azikuvumeli ukukhonzwa (IsAmbulo 1 Kor9,10), kodwa uJesu wakuvumela. Yebo, izingelosi nazo zikhonza iNdodana kaNkulunkulu (Hebheru 1,6). Eminye imithandazo yayiqondiswe kuJesu (IzE 7,5I-9-60; 2. AbaseKorinte 12,8; IsAmbulo 22,20).

ITestamente Elisha lidumisa uJesu Kristu ngendlela ephakeme ngokungavamile, ngezindlela ezivamile ezigcinelwe uNkulunkulu: “Inkazimulo mayibe kuyo kuze kube phakade naphakade! Amen"(2. UThimothi 4,18;
2. UPetrus 3,18; i-epiphany 1,6). Uphethe isiqu esiphezulu sombusi esinganikezwa (Efesu 1,20-21). Uma simbiza ngoNkulunkulu, lokho akulona ihaba kakhulu.

KusAmbulo uNkulunkulu neWundlu bayadunyiswa ngokufanayo, okubonisa ukulingana: “Kuyena ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, nakulo iWundlu makube udumo nodumo nenkazimulo negunya kuze kube phakade naphakade!” ( IsAmbulo 5,13). Indodana kufanele ihlonishwe kanjalo noyise (Joh 5,23). UNkulunkulu noJesu babizwa ngokulinganayo ngokuthi u-Alfa no-Omega, isiqalo nesiphetho sakho konke (Isambulo 1,8 Iminyaka engu-17; 21,6; I-22,13).

Iziqephu zeTestamente Elidala ezikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu zivame ukuthathwa eTestamenteni Elisha futhi zisetshenziswe kuJesu Kristu. Okunye okuphawuleka kakhulu yile ndima ekhuluma ngokukhonza: “Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa, wamnika igama elingaphezu kwamagama onke, lelo egameni likaJesu uqobo.

Wonke amadolo kufanele aguqe, asezulwini nawasemhlabeni nangaphansi komhlaba, futhi zonke izilimi kufanele zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kube inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba.” 2,9-11, amazwi acashunwe ku-Isaya 45,23). UJesu unikezwa udumo nenhlonipho u-Isaya athi kufanele inikezwe uNkulunkulu.

U-Isaya uthi munye kuphela uMsindisi—uNkulunkulu (Isaya 43:11; 4).5,21). UPawulu usho ngokucacile ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguMsindisi, kodwa futhi ukuthi uJesu unguMsindisi (Tit1,3; 2,10 futhi 13). Ingabe ukhona uMsindisi noma ababili? AmaKristu okuqala aphetha ngokuthi uBaba nguNkulunkulu futhi uJesu unguNkulunkulu, kodwa munye kuphela uNkulunkulu futhi ngenxa yalokho munye kuphela uMsindisi. UBaba neNdodana empeleni bamunye (uNkulunkulu), kodwa bangabantu abehlukene.

Ezinye izindimana zeTestamente Elisha nazo zibiza uJesu ngoNkulunkulu. UJohane 1,1: “UNkulunkulu wayenguLizwi.” Ivesi 18: “Akakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; ozelwe yedwa, onguNkulunkulu osesifubeni sikaYise, usemmemezele kithi.” UJesu ungumuntu onguNkulunkulu osivumela ukuba siqaphele uBaba. Ngemva kokuvuka, uTomase waqaphela ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu: “UTomase waphendula, wathi kuye, Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!” ( Johane 20,28 ).

UPawulu uthi okhokho babebakhulu ngoba kubo “uKristu weza ngokwenyama, onguNkulunkulu ophezu kwakho konke, obongekayo kuze kube phakade. Amen” (KwabaseRoma 9,5). Encwadini eya kumaHeberu, uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe ubiza iNdodana ngokuthi “Nkulunkulu”: “O Nkulunkulu, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi simi kuze kube phakade naphakade...” ( Hebheru 1,8).

“Ngokuba kuye [uKristu] kuhlezi kuye [uKristu],” kusho uPawulu, “kukhona ukugcwala kobuNkulunkulu ngokomzimba” (KwabaseKolose 2,9). UJesu Kristu unguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele futhi nanamuhla "usenesimo somzimba". Ungumfanekiso oqondile kaNkulunkulu - uNkulunkulu owenziwe inyama. Ukube uJesu ubengumuntu nje, bekungaba akulungile ukuthembela kuye. Kodwa njengoba engowaphezulu, siyalwa ukuba simethembe. Uthembekile ngokungenamibandela ngoba unguNkulunkulu.

Kithina, ubuNkulunkulu bukaJesu bubaluleke kakhulu, ngoba kuphela lapho engobuNkulunkulu lapho angasambulela khona uNkulunkulu ngokunembile (Joh. 1,18; I-14,9). NguMuntu kaNkulunkulu kuphela ongasithethelela izono zethu, asihlenge, abuyisane noNkulunkulu. UMuntu kaNkulunkulu kuphela ongaba umgomo wethu wokholo, iNkosi esithembeke kuyo ngokuphelele, uMsindisi esimhlonipha ngengoma nangomthandazo.

Ngempela umuntu, uNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso

Njengoba kungabonakala kwizethenjwa ezikhonjiwe, "umfanekiso kaJesu" weBhayibheli usatshalaliswa ngamatshe amatshe kulo lonke iTestamente Elisha. Isithombe asihambisani, kepha asitholakali endaweni eyodwa. Isonto lokuqala kwakudingeka likubeke ndawonye kusuka kumabhuloki akhona akhona. Esambulweni seBhayibheli wathola iziphetho ezilandelayo:

  • UJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ungowaphezulu.
  • INdodana kaNkulunkulu yaba ngumuntu ngempela, kepha uYise akazange.
  • INdodana kaNkulunkulu noYise yehlukile, ayifani
  • Munye kuphela uNkulunkulu.
  • INdodana noYise bangabantu ababili kuNkulunkulu oyedwa.
  • UMkhandlu waseNicaea (325 AD) wasungula ubunkulunkulu bukaJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, kanye nobuyena bakhe obubalulekile noYise (Isivumokholo saseNicaea). UMkhandlu waseChalcedon (451 AD) wengeza ngokuthi wayeyindoda:

“[Ngakho-ke, silandela obaba abangcwele, sonke sifundisa ngazwilinye ukuthi ukuvuma iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu iyiNdodana eyodwa; okufanayo kuphelele ebunkulunkulwini futhi kuyafana kuphelele esintwini, uNkulunkulu ofanayo ngempela nomuntu wangempela...Wazalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi sikaYise ngokobunkulunkulu...kaMariya, iNcasakazi kanye noNina kaNkulunkulu (theotokos) [owazalwa] , ufana munye, uKristu, iNdodana, ezelwe yodwa, engaxutshwe nezimo ezimbili... Umehluko wemvelo awuqedwa nakancane ngenxa yokuhlangana; Kunalokho, ukuhluka kwemvelo ngayinye kulezi ezimbili kuyagcinwa futhi kuhlanganiswe kube umuntu oyedwa..."

Ingxenye yokugcina yengezwe ngoba abanye abantu babethi isimo sikaNkulunkulu sasicindezele isimo sikaJesu sobuntu emuva kangangokuthi uJesu wayengaseyena umuntu wangempela. Abanye bathi lezi zimvelo ezimbili zihlangene zaba yimvelo yesithathu ngakho-ke uJesu wayengeyena uNkulunkulu futhi engeyena umuntu. Cha, ubufakazi beBhayibheli buyakhombisa: UJesu wayengumuntu ngokuphelele futhi enguNkulunkulu ngokuphelele. Futhi yilokho iBandla okufanele likufundise futhi.

Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu?

Ukuthola kwethu insindiso kuncike eqinisweni lokuthi uJesu wayengumuntu futhi engumuntu futhi enguNkulunkulu. Kepha iNdodana kaNkulunkulu engcwele ingaba kanjani indoda, ithathe isimo senyama enesono?

Umbuzo uvela ikakhulukazi ngoba umuntu njengoba simbona manje wonakaliswe ngokuphelele. Kepha akuyona indlela uNkulunkulu akwenza ngayo. UJesu usikhombisa ukuthi umuntu angaba kanjani futhi kufanele abe seqinisweni kanjani. Okokuqala, usikhombisa umuntu othembele ngokuphelele kuYise. Kufanele kube njalo nangesintu.

Uphinde asibonise lokho uNkulunkulu akwazi ukukwenza. Uyakwazi ukuba yingxenye yendalo yakhe. Angavala igebe phakathi kokungadalwanga nokudaliwe, phakathi kokungcwele kanye nesono. Singase sicabange ukuthi akunakwenzeka; ngoba uNkulunkulu kungenzeka. UJesu usibonisa nokuthi isintu siyoba yini esidalweni esisha. Lapho ebuya futhi sivuswa, siyofana naye (1. UJohannes 3,2). Siyoba nomzimba ofana nomzimba wakhe oguqulwe isimo (1. AbaseKorinte 15,42-enye).

UJesu uyiphayona lethu, usikhombisa ukuthi indlela eya kuNkulunkulu iholela ngoJesu. Ngoba ungumuntu, uzizwa ngobuthakathaka bethu; ngoba unguNkulunkulu, angasikhulumela ngempumelelo ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu. Njengoba uJesu enguMsindisi wethu, singaqiniseka ukuthi ukusindiswa kwethu kuqinisekile.
